Kodi rested with RJ in their favorite spot- next to the river where they had met. It was relaxing and beautiful and familiar here. He wiggled into his back, exposing his belly to the warm sun. It seemed to almost make his fur sparkle. He loved the warm sun, and he was dreading the upcoming winter. Cold nights and cold days. Cold rivers too- no more swims! He had spent all his winters outside thoug- he had never visited a warm home in the city to stay in for the winter. He had been in cities before- that wasn’t new.

He was slightly sore, a little tired, but that was expected after what the mated pair had done. He hoped it would result in a litter of pups. For the first time he was excited to go into heat and be around an alpha, which was nothing like he’d ever felt before. All he knew with that situation was fear, and to hide. Not anymore though.

He shifted closer to RJ and sighed contently, burying his face in his alpha’s neck. He yawned a little and faced upwards to look at him. “Hopefully we’ll have pups this year,” he mumbled into the fur. If it didn’t work, they’d have to wait for Kodi to go into heat again. They hadn’t much spoke about children, but it just seemed right and normal to him. He wanted a family.
